Phew, miss a few days and a couple hundred posts! 

@fishwife799 - congrats on team boy!! I love how you said he decided to show his stuff just showing off already!

@Huskerfanz - I can only imagine the emotions of hearing three amazing heartbeats! So glad things are okay!

Rant:
I've been sick and H decided tonight was the night to make comments about my expensive Ben & Jerry's habit....while he drinks 3 beers from a 6 pack that cost $10... Do NOT come inbetween me and my "The Tonight Dough" Ben & Jerry's!!!

@fishwife799 congrats on baby boy! 

@Huskerfanz I'm so glad everything is ok! I probably would have cried when I heard the heartbeats too! 

For weight gain: I'm up over 30 lbs at 24 weeks. I'd lost a lot of weight before I got pregnant and it just came right back. I'm really disappointed in myself and I hate how I look right now. 

Girl, don't be so hard on yourself. You aren't alone in that battle, I promise. 

And ps... we had tater tot hotdish tonight and it was awesome. Having it again for lunch tomorrow!

Thanks. I try to not be, but I had finally gotten to a size were I felt fit and was happy with my body. And now I jiggle again. I just keep telling myself that it's temporary and baby is worth it. My OB was concerned about the amount until I told him about the recent weight loss, and he told me it's common for weight to come back fast in that case.

@Huskerfanz so glad all is ok!

In one hours my ticker changes to 24 weeks! Vday! I'm so excited!  I never paid attention with my other pregnancies until we had our miscarriage and I've been counting down this time!

This sucks but is true, recent weight loss means you are more likely to gain it back during pregnancy.  Your body just wants to return to what it biologically "knows" so to speak (and I empathize because I lost weight before getting pregnant and am also gaining it back rapidly).  Try to think of it this way though...you know how to lose it, you've lost it before and you can lose it again a lot more easily than someone who has never had the discipline to learn how to lose weight.  You have the tools and the willpower, if you eat right this is just temporary and you'll be back to a "you" you are comfortable with post-baby in no time.

I did it! I pulled my big girl panties on and told my boss/turned in my leave today. My official last day ON the ice will be next Saturday, but they will keep
me on payroll through the middle of May so I can help out with our annual spring recital, the theme being Disney Fairytails so that's a no brainer as to why I want to be a part of it... A lot of my students are beyond sad, but the older ones can't wait to meet the alien making it difficult for me to skate.

Glad it went well @sdLindenberg

@Huskerfanz so glad everything is okay! FX the meds do their job and calm things down.

@HBamama2b During H's meeting with the VP a few weeks ago, he was asked how we felt about moving to Canada in a year or so. We're all like....

goldie987

@hockeyfan42 not gonna lie, kinda jealous that you might have a legitimate out to Canada if the US goes crazy!  For all we've been saying about wanting to move to Canada, we'd all likely have issues actually getting employed without legal residency.  

Lilwatz

@Huskerfanz 3 heartbeats all at once!  How exciting!!!!!!

@DeePaddy24 You had me at "poutine".  I've never had it but it just sounds so freaking amazing.  Also, we are all like Ew-Boo-Trump.  But PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE HIM.  Are they just not on TB?  Or are they being quiet because they are ashamed.  I know I would be if I supported that crap show.

My random: I tried to put socks on while standing up this morning.  Why did I think that was an achievable feat?!?!

totsabounding

@GinnyJ2012 yep, like @dennyandlee said, you are definitely not alone in the struggle. And it is hard not to let it get you down, but your body is doing an amazing thing right now--growing a person! And I LOVE what @mkemommy said about how you know how to lose the weight, you've done it before. I really needed to read that right about now, too.

Everything is good!  I had some contractions yesterday but it wasn't frequent or painful.  Today they got worse and fairly frequent and chugging water and laying down wasn't helping.  So, I called the nurse and she had me come in.  My cervix is 3.3 which is better than I expected.  I am contracting a bit but nothing too productive.  I'm back on the med for a few days to calm things down.  He said this isn't surprising since I'm measuring 8 months.  I heard all three heartbeats and cried.  It was an emotional day. 

So happy to hear that everything is ok!!

Last night my hot water heater burst, and my DH left early this morning for a 7 am flight for a business trip. So as of right now I have no hot water and no hubby until Monday morning. This is going to be a long and stinky weekend

Luckily I'm renting my house so I don't have to pay anything for repairs, but I'm still grumpy about it. I might stay with my parents until it gets fixed.

That sucks.  I'm glad it's a rental and should hopefully be taken care of pretty quickly then.  
I'd probably go stay with my parents if I still lived near them until it was fixed if I were you.

@WinniethePoohsPants I am sorry. That really blows. :-(

@WinniethePoohsPants: Ugh. Hope the landlords have it fixed soon!

Aside from all the rational, logical, smart reasons for you guys to move to Canada, may I present you with one more. THIS is our Prime Minister. *swoon* 

Canadian gals - I'm totally outing myself here as a full blown hardcore Liberal. But, I can't help it. I JT

I actually looked up to see what it would take for a teacher from the US to get a job in Canada.  Pretty darn impossible lol.  I would like to go up to Canada on vacation.  Hopefully someday I will take my son up to Vancouver to explore  

CourtJack

OMG DeePaddy24  that made me laugh alone in my cubicle!

Mr0616

I love Canada.  ❤️ Canada is me and DH's "oh yeah we really do have feelings for each other" special place. We would move there in a heartbeat if it were easier and family wouldn't be far away.  


Is anyone else tired of seeing all the new swimsuits coming out for the spring/summer?

It's nice living in the land of attractive politicians. This is our mayor here in Edmonton:



You should all totally move here. The weather's even unseasonably, almost worryingly nice! Thanks, global warming!

Mini annoyance. I'm throwing a baby shower for my cousin this Sunday. It started out as a small family shower (less than 20 invited) and morphed into a larger family and friends shower (40 invited) because her friend throwing the other shower found out she is pregnant afrer christmas. Hellllloooo... does that make her suddenly disabled, bc I'm much farther than she is and look who has double the work now! Plus my cousin's two sisters didn't even offer to throw her a shower, so I knew she wouldn't have one if I didn't do it bc get sisters are selfish B's. 

PBear93

@sdnybrk I'm soory it's more work, but I bet she will be super appreciative of it. 

WinniethePoohsPants

I just got out of the shower, and couldn't shave my lady business.
Bushin' it from here on out ladies.

Instant mood booster:


And then, wtf is this? First, I don't think this includes Canada (sad face). Second...I miss wine.

 Yeah the shower mirror is my friend these days.  Even with that, it could easily end up a bloody massacre.

Ladies. Embrace the bushy madness that are your lady bits right now. It's freeing
